About

What is JSON Server?

A hosted service that turns JSON files into live API endpoints. Upload any JSON file and get a public URL with nested path traversal, query filtering, webhooks, version history, and per-file analytics. No backend to build, no infrastructure to manage.

Why it exists

Mock APIs, frontend prototypes, and data-driven projects often need a quick backend. JSON Server eliminates the setup: sign in with GitHub, upload a file, and your data is live as a fully queryable REST endpoint. Useful for rapid prototyping, static site data, and sharing structured data with a URL.

Technology

Built with Next.js 16 and Turbopack, tRPC for type-safe APIs, Prisma with PostgreSQL for storage, and better-auth for GitHub OAuth. Frontend uses shadcn/ui components with Tailwind CSS v4. Charts powered by recharts. Hosted at json.shahriyar.dev.

Open source

The source code is available on GitHub. Contributions, bug reports, and feature requests are welcome.
